This University is in Tornoto Canada .
Over 500 students were sent notices that they were accepted but these emails were in error.
They were sending out emails about the error but it does not mean all were not accepted as they are still reviewing applications.
This occured immediately after the university had sent emails to acknowledge their applications had been received.
The students should hear somthing by the end of February.
That was quite a goof on their part and I image they have a lot of upset people.

Thats not cool. I bet those students were like YAY and then so let down.
Human error sometimes is costly.

@TiarasOceanView I know I would be so sad if that had happened to me. Human error can be very costly to many people.

I would be so sad if I was sent an email saying I'm accepted and denied later though.

You might change your mind because of the email you received.

That could prove very disheartening for some students who have tried so hard.

awww man I can only imagine how those students would have felt. Excitement and then suspense and for some, a major feeling of disappointment.
